Javascript – Google Maps does not display on Bootstrap

cssgoogle mapsjavascripttwitter-bootstrap

I am trying to implement google maps on bootstrap.

I've followed Google's own guide, here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-simple

Whilst this works on a standalone page, when I add the Bootstrap CSS the map doesn't show. I can't seem to find a hack that fixes it.

HTML:

  <body>
    <div id="map-canvas"></div>
  </body>

Script:

var map;
function initialize() {
  var mapOptions = {
    zoom: 8,
    center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  };
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
      mapOptions);
}

google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

CSS (over bootstrap)

  html, body, #map-canvas {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    height: 100%;
  }

See here for jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/robmc/6BTjE/2/

Has anyone encountered this before? I must be missing a basic workaround but no amount of forum searching has helped.

Thanks

I've fixed the issue by changing the height to px. hope it helps

#map-canvas{
    /*height: 100%;*/
    height: 400px;
}
